I Fear Not - Poem by abbas abubakar

I fear not the beetles in my beans I fear not the demons in my dreams I fear not the pythons in my pitch I fear not the vamp of vampires

Even at the zenith of everestI eat my yam without fearsAt the temple of death I walk in the lightest heart In the middle of the wildest nightI am confident like a child In mothers embrace

Of what reason should i beWhen life itself is afraidAnd fear, much more afraidIf all edges would seek my bloodThey might have it within pintBut I know for sureI would rise againInto a world without fear
